Ethan Carter

Ethan Carter is a fitness professional, Pilates instructor, and lifelong student of movement, music, and design. His unconventional career path has taken him from competitive athletics to the music industry, technology, and ultimately back to his true passion—helping people move better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives.

Growing up, Ethan was a dedicated athlete, serving as a tri-varsity team captain and earning his high school’s MVP award. In college, he discovered a passion for music, launching his own radio show before going on to DJ at some of New York City’s premier clubs and events while working in the music industry.

His curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit led him to teach himself web development, opening the door to a full-time IT career at an international investment bank. Ironically, it was the company’s corporate fitness center that rekindled his passion for health and wellness.

Choosing purpose over the traditional corporate path, Ethan left the desk job to pursue a career in fitness and Pilates. For more than 20 years, he has worked with leading fitness companies throughout New York City, Los Angeles, and San Diego, helping clients of all ages and fitness levels build strength, improve mobility, reduce pain, and gain confidence through intelligent, sustainable movement.

Ethan believes lasting wellness is built on balance. He encourages an approach to fitness that supports both physical and mental well-being—one that embraces discipline without perfection, healthy habits without restriction, and ambitious goals without sacrificing happiness. His mission is simple: to help people move well, feel their best, and enjoy an active, fulfilling life.

When Ethan’s not working, you’ll find him at the beach, traveling, or spending time with friends and family.
